This is supposedly vacation week. Kaa-san's taking some time off work and going to be staying at home for the time being.

I'm glad she's taking a break. She's been overworking herself so much that I worry about her health. I even took her to the doctors to check, but thankfully they say nothing's wrong.

I haven't seen Aoko or any of my friends lately, although my online Magic group is having another argument again. Why can't they just get along and agree on some things? What does it matter how tricks are performed as long as they are successful and do not break any rules? Each person performs differently, I'm tired of getting that through their heads.

I just wanted to use my new icon.

Doesn't it remind people of me? *Grins* The phone strap even smells like bread!

I miss my late night hours. Lately I've been sleeping so early that it's normal. It's really hindering on my late night plans...

I've finally found time to catch up on some of my piling files on the detectives and watch some anime. Like that one by the name of Natsume Yuujinchou, it's a strangely peaceful and enjoyable series. Since I have nothing better to do lately, I think I'll search up a few more anime with ayakashi themes.

The last few weeks have been so hectic...

I don't think I've hit my limit before, but playing several roles within a few hours, in the same room, seemed to have taken its toll. That is the last time I agree on favors that require me to change identities in a party several times in one evening!

The other birthday party celebration went well, and graduation ceremony for Hakuba's friend went pretty smoothly too. Funny how I was dragged along by that useless tantei to be a photographer though. But they had an interesting reception, and I tried a fruit I've never seen before!

It has a red and smooth skin, ovular shaped, but very soft, yellow/brown inside. There are areas of black spots inside the meat, but strangely, no seeds present in those areas. So it looks like the fruit just has blackened spots separatedly sparsely. The taste is tangy, the peel slightly bitter, and the whole thing is around the size of my fist. I thought it was passion fruit, but I don't think it is. The seeds are wrong. Does anyone know what it is?

Let's see... the reunion party worked out, the shopping trip Aoko dragged me on was surprisingly pleasant... no wonder I've been exhausted lately.

As a note, I'm very sad to hear about MJ's passing. I did not listen to his songs much, but he was for a fact the king of pop. May he rest eternally in peace.

This is in essence a true story. I was pretending to be Kid when this happened. Not quite in the exact details here, but every event did occur in one form or another.

This isn't in time for the birthday... but I did do some cleaning and found more old items.

I'll make it a double feature of after the fact celebration instead. Here is the first!

Happy birthday to me,

Happy birthday to me~ee!

And in celebration of this joyous, wonderous, brilliant event, I've produced some shots of one of my top idols: Kaitou Kid!

There are three versions, each at 1024 x 768. Please credit when you use!

I scalded my hand today.... Typing and other activities requiring dexterity will be slow.

On another hand, I've really been letting my creativity go lately. Thankfully that doesn't require my left hand (much)!

... Reminds me I need to cut out some new pictures to use. I still have a lot of space left.

I found this somewhere and got curious.... Taken from touma_karamochi.

( On with the pictures! )

Graduation's over with and now life goes on. It almost makes me wonder what I should be doing for my future...

There's some things that still need to be done, but... Maybe I should be thinking about some things too. I can't be having fun forever.

On the good note, Hakuba treated both Aoko and I to lunch today. Surprisingly generous of him. However, I also found out he's a poor shot with a camera. None of the photos he took has any feet.

My graduation ceremony's next Monday. I don't know why everyone's making such a big deal over it... it's just moving from one education system to another.

But kaasan will be taking time off work to come see me, and so will Jii-chan. I don't know about Aoko's dad though. The inspector seems busy lately, even when Kaitou Kid hasn't made any public heist notices for a while. Last I heard, he was investigating pigeons and that line of inquiry wasn't serving him well.

Aoko would be there though.... So will Hakuba. He's lucky to be included considering how he's away in his London half the time.

Things are pretty boring lately.

I didn't think meeting Aoko would be that tiring, but I but I only have myself to blame. I shouldn't have gotten up so early in the morning when I was meeting her for dinner. I probably shouldn't have skipped breakfast or lunch as well... I guess

But dinner was good! And thankfully, Aoko chose to order steak rather than seafood. We originally thought about ordering the combination dinners with two things, but everything was combined with seafood. I almost regret suggesting it when I had to forcefully unsuggest it.

Except I expected to see bones in ribs when I ordered them.

The night lasted another hour after dinner where we hit a juice place together. The original plan was dessert, but Aoko was full and I was even fuller after finishing her share of vegetables too.

It was interesting... I dreamed I was dressed up as Kaitou Kid last night at some sort of large convention.

What a silly dream. Why would Kaitou Kid even use the hangglider when there was barely any wind?

I've been waiting for a good day the whole week now. The sky's been pouring rain the whole week and finally it looks good this weekend! The winds have calmed too, which at this point is a mixed blessing.

On the other hand, I will be seeing Aoko again next week. What I don't understand is why she has to drag along Hakuba too. At least the short sighted detective brought back what I requested from his trip overseas, so seeing him might not be such a bad idea~
